Con on June 11th in celebration of Toontown Online 's 12th anniversary. After dedicating several years of development while transitioning from Alpha to Beta, Toontown Rewritten moved into Live by releasing the 2. Toons are the main protagonists of Toontown Rewritten , silly cartoon characters that enjoy having fun and are constantly using their arsenal of gags to stop Cogs from converting Toontown into a corporate dystopia. When a Toon is created, the player is able to choose the Toon's gender, color , and basic clothing.

Once the player creates their Toon, the Toon is sent to Tutorial Terrace. Cogs are the main antagonists of Toontown Rewritten , corporate robots with the objective to convert Toontown into a corporate dystopia. Their corporate ladders comprise of eight Cogs each that normally vary from level 1 to level 12 , as well as a boss Cog.

Cogs use a set of attacks to drain Toons' laff and sadden them; stronger Cogs tend to have higher health and stronger attacks. However, Cogs explode when they laugh upon being affected by Toons' gags. Gags are hilarious jokes used by Toons to defeat the Cogs.

Beginner Toons start off with Cupcake and Squirting Flower from the Throw and Squirt tracks but can obtain high-level gags by earning skill points and earn new gag tracks by completing ToonTasks. Toons can purchase gags from Goofy's Gag Shop for a single jellybean each, excluding level 7 gags. There are ToonTasks that grant upgraded gag pouches , allowing Toons to carry up to a total of 80 gags after completing every ToonTask.

Playgrounds are the central, safe area of neighborhoods. There are tunnels in them that lead to streets , which lead to different neighborhoods and a Cog headquarters. Cog headquarters are areas that are permanently controlled by branches of Cogs and are home to the boss Cogs. Goons , Skelecogs , and Version 2. A ToonTask is a quest in which Toons can complete to reach an incentive, offered by various NPCs. ToonTasks can consist of many different objectives like defeating Cogs, delivering items or gags to shopkeepers , or going fishing.

There are also "Just for Fun! Fishing is an activity where Toons can catch fish to add to their collection and receive jellybeans by selling the fish. As a Toon catches fish, they earn trophies and obtain laff boosts. Up to 70 different fish species can be caught. In addition to fish, objects such as old boots and jellybean jars can also be caught.

On Wednesdays and Silly Saturdays , Toons can also play Fish Bingo to earn extra jellybeans. Racing is an activity in Goofy Speedway where up to four Toons can race in karts on a variety of tracks to earn tickets , which can then be used to enter more races, or upgrade and customize karts. Toons earn trophies and obtain laff boosts by reaching certain milestones. On Mondays and Silly Saturdays, Toons can participate in the Grand Prix to compete in three consecutive races and win many tickets.

Gardening is an activity where Toons can start and grow their own garden at their estate to earn trophies and obtain laff boosts. Tree plots and gardening trays appear around a Toon's house once they obtain a gardening kit that can be purchased from Clarabelle's Cattlelog. Gardening involves three main activities: planting flowers , growing gag trees , and planting statues.

Shovels and watering cans are the primary gardening tools, both of which improve with use. Golfing is an activity in Chip 'n Dale's MiniGolf where up to four Toons can play minigolf over a series of holes to earn trophies and obtain laff boosts. A round of minigolf can be played by one to four Toons at a time, each taking turns.

Toons began with basic 'Gags' and a point 'Laff' meter and had a maximum of point Laff meter at the end of the game. Gags, rooted in old cartoon slapstick humor, were weapons used to destroy the Cogs in Cog battles. Each 'Gag track' had Gags with different properties that could be unlocked by completing 'ToonTasks' and each gag track would get progressively more powerful as 'Toons' used their gags more.

Cogs could be fought on the streets of the game, in 'Cog Buildings' or in their own designated 'Cog HQ', with each Cog HQ having a boss that could only be fought by obtaining a full set of the HQ's Cog disguise. These include the Senior V. Vice President, Sellbot HQ , C. Chief Financial Officer, Cashbot HQ C.

Chief Justice, Lawbot HQ , and C. Chief Executive Officer, Bossbot HQ. Playgrounds were the only areas of Toontown permanently safe from Cogs. In the playgrounds, Toons could regain lost Laff Points, receive or complete ToonTasks unique to each playground, purchase gags, play trolley games, go fishing, kart racing, or golfing. By completing ToonTasks, Toons would grow in strength through additional Laff Points or new Gags. Laff Point increases were also available through fishing, racing, and golfing challenges.

There was a playground in each neighborhood of Toontown. Each playground featured one of Disney's classic animated characters as a non-player character. The main playgrounds were Toontown Central, Daisy Gardens, Donald's Dock, Minnie's Melodyland, The Brrrgh, and Donald's Dreamland, along with extra playgrounds such as Goofy Speedway and Chip 'n Dale's Acorn Acres. Every Toontown Online account came with a player's estate. Each estate consisted of a fishing pond and six houses for each Toon on the player's account.

Players could customize their Toon's appearance and home with objects ordered from the in-game catalog 'Clarabelle's Cattlelog' by using jellybeans, the in-game currency.

Wardrobes and accessory trunks held clothing and accessories that were not currently being worn by the player's Toon. Other elements of estates included Doodles pets , gardening, fishing, and the ability to purchase various types of in-game items from Clarabelle's Cattlelog. Toontown Online was marketed and developed for players of all ages, which is why a chat restriction was placed on the game. Players could only chat using "SpeedChat", a list of pre-approved phrases set by Disney that the player could select.

It included general English phrases, in-game strategy phrases, and, occasionally, seasonal phrases. Players could purchase more SpeedChat phrases using, most of the time, jellybeans. SpeedChat Plus allowed the player to type their messages against a word filter developed by Disney; if a word was not allowed, it was replaced with an onomatopoeia of that player's Toon's species.

True Friends allowed players to chat with a less-restrictive filter with certain friends who have shared a "True Friend code" with each other. Parties were hostable, plannable, and customizable events by Toons. Toons would use their stored jellybeans in their bank to customize and add content to their parties, such as fireworks, minigames Tug-O-War, etc. To plan a party, Toons would go to a Toon Party Planner. Toons could also customize their invitations to these parties. Platform Publishing, a subsidiary company of Sony Online Entertainment that publishes games for third-party developers, acquired rights to publish a CD version of Toontown Online in August for the PC and their intention to bring the game to online game consoles.

This version came in a box set with two months of subscription, a poster, a game manual, and an in-game bonus. After ten years of operation, Toontown Online was shut down permanently on September 19, Seasonal and holiday celebrations and special in-game events took place in the time remaining.

Recurring paid memberships were automatically canceled. Memberships could no longer be purchased, and accounts could no longer be created. After the game's closure, Toontown ' s website was updated with a new FAQ to help with billing support and inform users about the game's closure.

Players could create characters called "Toons". Players were able to customize their Toons in various shapes, colors, clothes, and sizes, as well as their species, with choices consisting of cats, dogs, ducks, mice, pigs, rabbits, bears, horses, and monkeys. Cogs came in four types: brown-clad Bossbots, blue-clad Lawbots, green-clad Cashbots, and maroon-clad Sellbots, each with increasing levels throughout the game that increased their health and damage.
